A vertical board stands as a double. In this “face to face”, the rule is simple: it must stand and resist the fall.
Between contemplation and confrontation, TRESED, a palindrome of DESERT,
is a monochrome of light and shadow where the body explores the dropping point, questioning one’s own gravity. A sculptural choreography is created through the oscillating fragile balance of strength, lightness, grace and tension.
An innocent game with gravity, a roulette in the architecture of our existence.
In this game of body versus body, abstract and poetic images are built. Composed by choreographic and acrobatic movement, these sculptural pictures build and break gently, slowly, undulating between force and speed. The rhythm of the dance quickens turning into a circular and unbridled race where both entities, man and object, seek their own autonomy.
The emptiness shrouds the atmosphere, revealing only the invisible yet omnipresent gravity. The object, the board itself becomes a symbolic reflection of both a distant self-representation as well as the formalization of its own “Life balance”. The stage direction is guided by the constant physicality of the choreography, as “balance” is a movement in suspension. Temporarily stopped, it is a state of strength, power or grace before the imbalance or fall.
This piece is an abstract journey into the architecture of our existence, using our imagined balance as a starting point, acknowledging the cohabitation of where we are and what we plant to be.
